Apogee HoCo is a a full-time Leadership Academy. Apogee HoCo offers growth and support for the whole family. We provide support for homeschool families two days per week, which includes a 12-month continuing education for the parents. Our parents will be able to grow alongside one another, bring their children along and be connected to other Apogee parents across the country for collaboration and support.

We aim to develop young leaders and empower their families, equipping them to do life well. We use an innovative approach to whole person formation. Our goal is to prepare children for life, which we do by creating a microcosm of life for young people to develop strong character as they become competent, confident and capable leaders.

Apogee combines the best elements of hands-on experiential projects, Socratic learning for critical thinking and powerful communication, maximizing outdoor learning, and interactive technology, creating a learning environment that feels more like an educational adventure than a school.

At Apogee we utilize mixed-age learning with a self-paced design an opposed to segregating by age via grade-levels. Our projects seek to instill real-world skills through the functional application of creating, which culminates in a public exhibition of learning as opposed to testing. In all areas of Apogee life, our learners are empowered to be in the driver's seat of their lifelong education.

Our program is structured around 7 project-based sessions that run from September to June. Each project session runs 4-6 weeks with a 1-2 week break following each session. This allows time for our young people to reflect, integrate and return excited and refreshed for the next session. Our schedule also provides quality family time for memories throughout the year.

The Apogee Code is a code of ethics that all members of our community commit to live by:

INTEGRITY

"Integrity is the choice between what's convenient and whats right." - Tony Dungy

I will make good on my dealings with others. I will be a self-controlled leader, denying myself any privileges which could potentially derail my credibility. I will not waiver or compromise on what is true and right.

BRAVERY

"A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave for five minutes longer." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

My ideals will not waiver in the face of danger. I will stand up for what is right, and will not compromise, no matter who the enemy, and, especially when the enemy is myself.

COMPASSION

"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." - Dalai Lama

I will have a countenance of generosity, sympathy, and forgiveness. Compassion serves others, even to the discomfort of self. A change to help others is an opportunity to change the very direction of humanity.

HONESTY

"Befriend the man who is brutally honest, for honesty is the highest form of respect. - Daniel Saint

My word is my bond, and that bond cannot be broken. In an age where contracts and handshakes are marginalized, I am Apogee Strong, committed to my word at all costs.

POLITENESS

"A polite gentleman is indeed one who puts more into this world than he takes out." - George Bernard Shaw

Extending politeness to all and utilizing good manners is a chance to honor those who have come before me, as well as inspire those who come after me. respect is gained by the consistent manner with which I deal with people, so I will deal with them accordingly.

HONOR

"The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be who we pretend to be." - Socrates

I will have a dignity of worthiness in all of my work, my cause, and my purpose. My transparency in leadership and principled living will be evident in public and in private.

LOYALTY

"Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable, than loyalty." - Cicero

I am loyal to myself, my cause, my family, my friends and to the betterment of society through the daily living of the Apogee Code. I take personal responsibility for my decisions and actions, as well as their correlating results.

2024-2025: Tuesday & Thursday

Starting Fall of 2025, we will utilize a 4 +1 model. Your child's membership provides them the Monday-Thursday project-based learning schedule (next drop down) and includes optional Friday's for enrichment programs and field trips to expose our young people to their unique passions and skillsets.

Fall of 2025 Days & Hours: Monday-Friday from 9:00am - 3:00pm

Below is a sample schedule of our day. While this is subject to some flexibility, depending on the needs of the day /week, this is generally what the day will look like. Each tribe will have a mixed-age appropriate schedule of activities. The idea is to hit various key "buckets" throughout the day as they build their habits, mindset and self confidence - play, fitness, core life skills, jobs and responsibilities, Socratic discussions, and project based learning.

Yes. Please see the projected calendar for the year.

The Young Learners first day at Apogee HoCo will be Tuesday September 3, 2024 and will finish on Thursday June 26, 2025.

We have 7 project themes called "Sprints" that last 4-6 weeks. There will be a 1+ week break after each Sprint for rest, reflection, and family time. This allows the young heroes to return to campus recharged for the next Sprint. Our goal is to maintain high standards AND provide an atmosphere of excitement about learning, giving the campus a healthy combination of martial arts tradition and summer camp fun.

1. Building the Tribe

2. Becoming the CEO of your Life

3. Health = Wealth

4. Speech, Debate & Logic

5. Self Reliance & Sovereignty

6. Shark Tank

7. Building their Business

We are neither a private nor public school for the 2024-2025 learning year. If you are considering a school that prepares learners for a life of freedom and sovereignty for the 2025-2026 learning year, please reach out to connect as we plan to expand to a Monday-Friday schedule.

We are a Leadership Academy for families designated as homeschooling in the 2024-2025 learning calendar. Parents will always and forever be the primary educators and utilize our program and facility to further equip, train, and prepare their young learners to excel at life in the 21st century.

We are a Family Leadership Academy that offers every parent the opportunity to join Apogee Man / Apogee Woman, a 12-month intensive self-development program aimed at leveling up in every area of their lives (fitness, family, finances, faith, marriage, etc) and bring their children along on their growth journey.

Apogee Man and Apogee Woman are complimentary as part of your child's membership at Apogee HoCo. Come grow your family with us - Education For Life!

We will have a full-time coaching staff that will guide and facilitate learning on campus.

There will be volunteer opportunities for parents, which will be communicated in the coming months, but the primary responsibility of running our campus rests on our highly capable Apogee HoCo coaching staff.

* Founding Families in 2025-2026 learning year will have their child's membership fee locked in perpetuity and never raising! *

Based on just 3% inflation, becoming a Founding Family can save you nearly $50,000 over 10 years for one child!

2024-2025 membership fee:

$3,000 by August 11, 2024

10-month payment: $300/month

Membership Fee goes up after August 11

We will not likely have scholarships available for our first year 2024-25. But, as we build a scholarship and endowment fund, founding families will have first access to these scholarship opportunities.

If families want, they are able to raise their own scholarships by having a business switch their point of sale for credit card processing over to Apogee Payments.

Yes! Apogee Payments provides leadership, education and life skills training for children and their families without a single dollar being taken from your previous business operations.

If you or somebody you know is a business owner, please ask us to setup a call to Apogee Payments with no obligation on the backend. Take the call for the upside and say no if it doesn't look right for you.

We want this to make sense from your business and community support perspective to create a win / win without a single dollar changing from your bottom line.

Apogee HoCo is hiring a full time coach to guide our learner-driven, project based, Socratic guided studios on campus.
